1st Night Photos: Rourke’s Physicists party at Hospital Club
The Physicists,
Josie Rourke‘s third production at the helm of the Donmar
Warehouse, opened last night. The press night party was held at The
Hospital Club, a members’ club in Covent Garden.
The play, by Friedrich
Dürrenmatt, in a new version by Jack Thorne, is set in a Swiss
insane asylum run by a hunch-backed psychiatrist (played by Sophie
Thompson). It stars John Heffernan as Möbius, Paul
Bhattacharjee as ‘Einstein’ and Justin Salinger as her trio of
nuclear physicist patients.
Also appearing in the 1961
drama are Joanna Brookes, Oliver Coopersmith, Ben Hardy, Adam
McNamara, Miranda Raison, John Ramm, Sophie Thompson and
Obioma Ugoala.
